OpenSpace—tech for the trades
Drive efficiency with OpenSpace
360º reality capture from OpenSpace helps trade contractors—framing, drywall, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, electrical, and every specialty in between—work more efficiently by providing images that show exactly what you’ve finished and when. OpenSpace can also use those images to show quantities of materials and percent complete for easy viewing and validation.
Build faster and with less risk
Validate concealed work without opening walls, slabs, or ceilings
Fully document your site for a live, as-built record of the building with our 360° reality capture platform. Do in-wall inspections from anywhere, and verify work without time-consuming and expensive destructive verification.
Get paid on time
Pay apps can get bogged down, especially when there’s uncertainty about what work was done and when it was completed. OpenSpace eliminates the ambiguity. Share curated, time-stamped imagery of your teams’ work and keep the cash flowing.
Understand the job, plan efficiently
Stay on top of progress from anywhere, and spot discrepancies before they become a problem using tools like BIM Compare, OpenSpace Progress Tracking, and OpenSpace BIM+. Easily see what’s happening on-site to measure your crews’ productivity and better plan the job. Oversee multiple projects without having to travel to the sites, mitigating the risk of a labor shortage.
“It’s the holy grail for trade contractors to have consistent data points that are easily quantifiable to identify your percent complete based on where you are in the project.”

Frequently asked questions
What is OpenSpace?
OpenSpace is the fastest, easiest way to visually document your jobsite—and it’s the simplest, smartest way to understand it. We generate Google Street-style views of your jobsite. Our key differentiator is that our solution truly requires little to no extra labor and zero infrastructure: simply attach a 360° camera to your hard hat (or drone) when you want to capture the job, such as during a routine inspection or site walk, tap record on our app. We do the rest!
We have fully automated progress photos, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to OpenSpace Capture, we provide simple but powerful tech including OpenSpace BIM+, OpenSpace Air, and OpenSpace Progress Tracking so you can manage your site at all levels of detail. We’ve reversed $100K’s in CO’s, cut travel costs in half, and saved millions in overall construction costs by trimming schedules.
How much data can I capture?
As much as you want. Walk the job as much as you want, and capture as many images as you want. The more you capture the better your insights are.
What is the difference between OpenSpace and other 3D capture tools?
While other 3D capture tools require dedicated setup and capture time or require experienced photographers to document your jobsite, OpenSpace is special because it’s essentially 100% labor free. Simply attach your 360° camera to the top of your hard hat with the included mount, then walk your site as normal—our proprietary artificial intelligence algorithm does the rest! Further, because our system is so easy to use, we have the data to build the easiest and most powerful AI-based analytics tools out there.
How quickly can I start capturing? How fast is your processing speed?
The technology is easy to use, and you can get started in minutes. It will take just 5-10 minutes to set up a project. Then, upload your floor plans, and you’re ready to go capture. Attach a camera, mark your starting point, tap record in our app, and then walk the site like you normally do—or capture any other way you want. It’s that simple. Including drones—before a shovel even hits the ground, you can start capturing with drones for upload into OpenSpace Air.
Construction is always moving, and we keep you ahead of it. Images are processed and ready to view within 15 minutes on average after a capture is uploaded. Your model is fully aligned to all images with our BIM Compare feature, so you can navigate models just as easily as viewing the 360° images. Drone imagery and progress tracking insights are quick to process, ready for action. Our processing speed and our ease of use are unmatched, which will help you secure adoption.
How easy is it to roll out OpenSpace at scale and gain adoption?
OpenSpace was built on the jobsite from day one. Our reliable, user-friendly products are tech your teams will want to use. We offer an exceptional level of customer support including access to OpenSpace Academy—free, on-demand training courses designed to enhance your team’s knowledge of OpenSpace products and features.
Capturing adds little to no extra work for field teams. We work on Android and Apple devices. Plus, we integrate seamlessly with the construction tools you’re already familiar with. You’ll see value after your first capture. Lastly, functionality is meaningless if your teams aren’t collecting and using the data, so you can feel confident knowing OpenSpace is the fastest and most widely adopted 360° capture program out there. Watch this one-minute video to see how rapidly Suffolk Construction scaled OpenSpace usage from one project to half of all projects.
Does OpenSpace work with drones?
Yes, with OpenSpace Air, you can import drone-captured data into the OpenSpace platform and transform it into valuable insights such as point clouds, 3D meshes, and orthomosaics. Our solution seamlessly integrates with all DJI, Esri, and Skydio drones, eliminating the need for multiple software platforms. OpenSpace Air delivers fast, automated drone image processing and seamless integration within your construction workflow.
Does OpenSpace use AI technology?
Yes! Our advanced technologies have been AI-powered since day one. Learn more about our Spatial AI engine.
